Model Ireland Bladwin has claimed the police accused her of "looting" when she tried to get back to her house in Malibu amidst the raging California wildfire.

Baldwin, daughter of actors Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger, took to Twitter to share the incident among her social media followers. She alleged that she wasn't allowed to enter her home as she did not have the correct address on her identification card, according to hollywoodreporter.com.

"Yesterday I spent all day long trying to get back to my place in Malibu to gather a couple of my things before the winds were expected to pick back up. An officer at a back way entrance to one of the main canyons that take you over to Malibu stopped us and refused to let us in because I don't have my Malibu address on my ID.

"Not only was he a d**k, but he had zero compassion and he literally accused us of being looters and threatened us that we were going to be arrested if we kept giving him trouble," she tweeted.

The 23-year also revealed that her mother Kim and her partner lost their home in the massive fire, which also destroyed the houses of celebrities like Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke.

"So many friends and friends and family of friends are losing everything they own in these fires. My mom and her partner lost their Malibu home in the Woolsey Fire and thankfully, they are both safe," Baldwin added.
